Blog #7 by SHENG LU

The digital story "Overdue" by Megan Tryoyer under the Personal catagory (URL: http://digitalstory.osu.edu/stories/personal/) mainly delineate the life of Megan, a born and bred Buckeye, as an student emplyee in CIO. She demonstrate that she was fortunate and happy to eventully graduate from OSU, like her parent did, and her career life had changed since the first day she met with Dr. Bob, the previous Chief Research engineer. In addtion to the valuable memories, Megan showed her happiness to keep pursuing her child-like passion to get things done in CIO just like Dr. Bob did.

Generally speaking, Megan did a great job on her digital story telling, especially on her fluent english speaking and clear pronounciation. Besides, the vivid pictures and the backgound music she used in her video dazzled me as well. For instance, OSU carmen is the the typically symbo to express her excitement to be a buckeye. Additionally, she used the picture of two polar bears hugging together to express the deep expectation to Dr. Bob, at the same time, the picture of sunset just properly create the sad atmosphere after she mentioned the retirement of Mr. Bob. Despite of that sparkling parts, there are still some drawbacks in her vedio. For exampel, as a viewer, I am extremely looking for some interesting sepecific stories happend between her and Dr. Bob that changed her life so much, but unfortunately, she didn't mention any of them. So, this digitalstory would so much better if she providing more specific examples. But, however, I do like this video anyway and also, it provide me with something new in my mind.
